The net effect of weaving strand upon strand to make a rope, is great strength, durability, and longevity! It’s also — the net effect of receiving the promises of God! weaving them into our lives, letting them uphold us. If we haven't done this, if we’ve recited His promises but not responded to them: we’ll be like waves of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind, instead of travelers of a bridge over and above troubled waters.
